How can I start a waste management service?
I want to open up a waste management service in a town of a third world country. How should I go about doing this? Who would I need to contact (I.e. the government)? and about how long should it take?

Pardon me for being cynical, but what you're wanting to do may be difficult. However, I do wish you all the best. What kind of waste management are you thinking of? Trash service, or industrial-toxic waste management? I think many third world countries - developing nations (or whatever the current term of art is) have more problems to solve than worring about environmental/waste issues. Therefore, they may ignore trying to solve waste issues, in favor of what they perceive as higher priority activities, until they are forced to face it head on. You may be in an area that is a bit more concerned with sustainable environments and that will help you succeed. Your first source of info should be the country where you're setting up shop. If you don't get much help from them, your next best bet may be with the united nations environmental programme - they may offer sound advice, and maybe even some seed money. Or, try enviros groups - sierra club, greenpeace, etc.What are the spatial dimensions of Waste management?

Question answered by Charles K
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal, and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity, and is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics. Waste management is also carried out to recover resources from it. Waste management can involve solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, with different methods and fields of expertise for each. Waste management practices differ for developed and developing nations, for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Management for non-hazardous waste residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_management Waste Management is a leading provider of comprehensive trash and waste removal, recycling, and environmentally safe waste management.Environmental solutions.

It undoubtedly varies by state. Waste Management operates nationally. If you're going to be a union driver, those benefits may be provided through the union rather than directly by the company.How did waste management/treatment people and racketeers in NYC make money with garbage?
I was watching a documentary series on satellite TV called Trashopolis, and I was watching the NY episode. I didn't see the whole series, but I wanted to know how did waste management/treatment people and racketeers in NYC make money with garbage? They turned the trash into something but I don't know what - they mentioned that in the series but I missed that. I would like some help with this - please help. Thank you.

Question answered by SCORPIO
Two ways. First, they monopolized the trash pick-up business- if you weren't mob connected and tried to go into business for yourself, you were threatened/ and/or hurt by the mob-including murder. The mob then was able to charge whatever they wanted to pick up your garbage. Second. they owned recycling plants for cardboard trash which they sold to legitimate recycling plants. They also controlled the cart-men's union, so if you wanted a job or to do business in the waste-management industry, you had to go through them. They had it tied up coming and going.Is there a strong demand for the waste management job field in Ontario, Canada?
I was wondering if there is a strong waste management field in Toronto to study for? Would there be a wide range of jobs or would it be limited? I don't want to get into a field where there is no demand and a little chance of getting a job. I know your supposed to do what you want to and love to do, however getting a job is very important to me and that's why I was wondering if it would be worth it to enter this field.

Question answered by RoaringMice
I don't know the demand for waste management, but on a related topic, there is strong demand in sewage treatment. They say that students don't want to go into this field, because of obvious reasons, so there's a lack of qualified workers. Might be something to think about.How much does California spend on waste management annually?
Just as the question says, I was wondering how much California spends on waste management annually. I'm looking for a money figure, and I haven't been able to find it yet. If you could answer with the source you got it from too that would be preferred thanks! :)

Question answered by Homer
I think the question may be too broad. If that is what you were asked to find out, you'll need to think about what activities make up "waste management," and put $ figures on each of those discrete activities and them sum them up. You also need to define for yourself the term "waste management." Will you take a narrow view or a broad view of the term's definition? Do you mean just the activity of disposal of wastes, or do you want to be expansive and include California's entire waste management program - by that I mean the $ spent by the state's office responsible for implementing the waste management regulations? Also, do you want to just include what the "State" spends, or what each and every municipality within the state spends in addition to actual State expenditures? I hope you see what I'm driving at. When you write up your answer, I'd suggest you caveat the response in terms of your assumptions and definitions of terminology, and then proceed with your analysis and results predicated by those underlying assumptions. That way, you can build a defensible position on your answer.What is meant by solid waste management?

I am doing a paper, and powerpoint presentation on new types of waste management for food, and restaurants. Does anyone know anything about this? I am looking for information on newer types of management, and maybe some more unusual, or experimental types of management. The presentation is for an environmental sustainability class I am taking, so the types of management would need to be "green" If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

sell waste food to pig farms. sell waste grease and oil to biodiesel plants. Use all washable items, not disposable. Use tap water and only recyclable beverage systems, kegs of soft drinks, beer and wine. Serve right size portions and only refill when asked. Use high efficiency water heaters and zero flush urinals. Point of use hotwater in hand wash stations.
